It would no longer be Mr Whiggley. It would be like a magic swimmer or a myriad of other multi jointed baits. One of the secrets of why Whigs so well is that it actually stores a small amount of energy while "bent" and releases it on slack. Several years ago I experimented using flexible titanium alloys rather than a hinged joint in hard plastics and it has potential, but got side tracked with some other projects and have not revisited it.
good question though!
best,
